The world rejected Him, cast Him out and crucified Him. God “raised Him from the dead, and set Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places.” “And you hath He quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins ... and hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ.” Now we are a heavenly people of our heavenly Lord Jesus Christ who in heaven sits at God’s right hand and on earth is the rejected man. We are called by God as members of His body to stand for Him here on the earth until He comes for us. We must stand against a host of heavenly foes led by Satan. He is a crafty and wily adversary who seeks to defeat God and us, as we stand among men, to present to them Christ our heavenly head. For this warfare we need God’s power and armor. Let us put it on, keep it on, and, in “the power of His might” and “watching with all perseverance” in prayer, “speak boldly” as we ought to speak.
